fire was concentrated cn the slava which having received several fourteen-inch shells in her ftarboard bow began to keel over attacked by seaplanes in addition to the continual fire from the enemy ships the slava was attacked by five seaplanes the offi cers and crew worked with perfect harmony and magnificent energy finally th ship was righted but in view of the great superiority of the enemy
